OZONE ( O 3 ) A highly reactive compound composed of three oxygen atoms that acts as an oxidant and oxidizer. First identified by Christian Friedrich Schönbein in 1840 Exists at the ground level as an air pollutant and a constituent of urban smog, as well as in the Earth’s upper atmosphere as a protective layer from ultraviolet rays.
OZONE ( O 3 ) Ozone gas has a high oxidation potential and is effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. It also has the capacity to stimulate blood circulation, platelets, and immune response. This strong oxidant property has led to use of ozone in medical and dental fields.
BASIC FORMS OF OZONE APPLICATION *CAN BE USED SINGLY OR A COMBINATION OZONE GAS OZONATED WATER OZONATED OIL
CAN YOU BE ALLERGIC TO OZONE?
Since ozone is just Oxygen in energized form ;)
Ozone Water – essentially water that is free from all impurities Able to kill viruses, bacteria, and any pesticides that are situated in the substance. Can be an alternative to saline to wash the mouth after implant placement Best irrigating solution compared to normal saline and povidone-iodine in terms of reduction in pain and dry socket
Ozone Water An antimicrobial agent that is able to modulate pain and inflammation Cau ses less cytotoxic effect than chlorhexidine (0.2% and 2%), sodium hypochlorite (2.5% and 5.25%), and hydrogen peroxide. In vitro studies have shown that ozonated water can effectively destroy Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
– A minimally invasive approach that utilizes a medical-grade ozone gas to disinfect, sterilize, and promote healing in dental procedures Reduces the need for traditional disinfectants and antibiotics Effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi, aiding in preventing and treating conditions like tooth decay and gum disease. Can be used to treat gum disease, root sensitivity and deep caries. Enhances the healing process in diseased tissues and deep decay, often preventing the need for root canal therapy. OZONE DENTAL TREATMENT
W orks by using ozone gas or infused substances to destroy bacteria, viruses, and fungi, while also stimulating tissue repair, resulting in effective disinfection and promotion of healing in dental procedures. The dentist uses an ozone generator machine to create ozone gas (O3) from oxygen molecules (O2). How does OZONE DENTAL TREATMENT work?
The dentist applies the ozone gas or ozonated water to the patient’s teeth and gums, where it does its work which acts as a disinfectant. During treatment, the oxygen atoms in ozone interact with the pathogens that cause cavities and periodontal disease. How does OZONE DENTAL TREATMENT work?

BENEFITS OF OZONE DENTAL TREATMENT Elimination of Tooth Decay Effective remineralization Minimally invasive Reduction of tooth sensitivity Canker sore treatment Safe, effective, and natural Quick results
Effective disinfection, killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi Reduction of chemical usage compared to other treatments No harmful byproducts formed during treatment Oxidizes and removes organic contaminants Shorter treatment times compared to some traditional methods ADVANTAGES Higher cost compared to other methods Requirement for skilled professionals for maintenance Lack of residual disinfection to prevent regrowth Special mixing techniques needed due to low solubility Fire hazards and toxicity associated with ozone generation DIS ADVANTAGES
Applications in Dentistry: USES OF OZONE IN DENTISTRY Acceleration of healing Dental caries management Oral lichen planus Gingivitis and periodontitis Halitosis Osteonecrosis of the jaw Pain management Plaque and biofilm elimination Root canal therapy Sensitivity Temporomandibular disease Teeth whitening
